HALL VS OATES

[basss]

Hall vs Oats? I think Oates would probably kick Halls ass. Hall has the reach but Oates would get in close and gymkata his ass.

 

[ElectroVibe]

Why the sudden need to divide?
Sir, would you prefer a knife or fork with your steak?

Me: Hmm...good question, I think I will take the...WAIT! Just leave both of them on the table, thank you very much. Yes, I prefer both

Both.

 

[geeza]

Isn't oats something people have for breakfast?

I was thinking horses, but that works too

 

[ElectroVibe]

Another analogy: apples and oranges. You can't have one without the other, am I right?

 

[Stewie]

I'm betting Hall knocks Oates out about twenty seconds into the third round

Horses for breakfast?!

Only if imported from the Netherlands.
Holland oats.

Holland oats.

That's very funny, sir. Don't worry, I'll have your daughter home by 11.

I voted Baba Booey

I didn't appreciate those guys in the 80s when they were churning out brilliant pop songs. I was into punk and new wave and they just didn't seem hip to me. Now when I hear the songs I recognize them for the brilliant pop songs that they are. And I love Live from Daryl's House.

John did have one heck of a porn 'stache back in the day….

I read that last part phonetically and pictured a stack of magazines.

They're both great, but as a bassist I have to vote for T-Bone Wolk, who they referred to as the "&" between Hall & Oates.

T-Bone did a stint with Billy Joel as well in the mid-90's

 

[captainofsmooth]

This whole thread is blasphemous

 

[brianrost]

The guy with the 'stache wierds me out for some reason

 

[brianrost]

Have tickets for King Crimson at the end of the month.

They are touring again? Geez...I wish the tickets weren't so expensive.

Garfunkel & Oates:

(If you don't know, you really should.)

One has to be incredibly un self-aware, self-indulgent, or vastly overcompensating to rock a 70's pornstache of that magnitude . . . Either that, or he's actually a Navy Seal.

Daryl has obviously been the more active of the two, but their ability to write and perform accessible and (imo) quality music as a duo, throughout the popular genres of the time over a decade plus, deserve my respect and recognition.

Edit: I saw them with Train a few years ago. It was a very good show, fun, good sound, and entertaining.

Anyone who doesn't like them is just . . . Outta touch.

 

[Killing Floor]

Too soon for me (COVID) and my wife has refused to ever see King Crimson with me again ("Are they all playing the same song?").

Funny you say that. I'm going with a friend. My wife has no interest in them.

This wife has front row seats.

My sister from another mister. She and I agree on a lot of music but not this one. That's cool. Celebrated 28 last weekend so it's not like we don't get along. We see shows but she's never been into anything in the prog adjacent genres. Envious of front row, enjoy it.
